Happy Monday!

Hope your break was fabulous!  I am sure excited to put away my winter garb. Whenever that happens.  I am afraid my body may go into shock if we ever get double digits lol. 

It was back at 'er today.  And then they got tired. At about 930.  And then it was downhill.  Late nights, busy days, outside time.... all have taken a toll.  I knew it was going to be a long day when the one I own burst into tears when I told them it was gym time.  And he loves gym!

So, make sure they get some rest (good luck right) before Wednesday.  First days are hard on all of us.

Please make sure they have splash pants and rubber boots for when the mud hits, it will be bad.  I don't let them change if they have chosen to play in the mud or that is all I would do.  I do let them change if someone pushes them in etc.  Please make sure that they dress in layers.  It is cold in the morning but then when it warms up they can take off layers. 

Have a great night!

Spring is in the Air





















Yesterday the Kindergarten class went outside for a spring walk. We wanted to see what we could see from all areas around the school. We climbed to the top of a "mountain" and I asked them what they saw. They could see a tractor, the top of the school ( "its red you know" one child told me) and lots of water. They thought they would like to check out the water but I said that we would maybe check that out on another day.




After going back to the school I let the kids go for a little run. Just like colts on a warm spring day!




The walk ended at the gravel pit north of the school where I let the kids pick out a rock. Some on them immediately thought they would like to dig for dinosaur bones. They had a great time looking and came to tell us all the rocks they found. The kindergarteners were allowed to take back as many as they would like.




On the way back the kids realized that their pants had "freckles". I assured them that the freckles were in fact burrs and wouldn't hurt them. When we got back we picked them off and put them under a magnifier. They were a big hit.
